In search of a good donut this morning and have been hearing many reviews of greatness from Frank's. I came in about 9:45 am and there was one person in line ordering their donuts. There was some inventory overflow and no seats taken but it's a homie spot. The variety of donuts on display did not fill the case completely but the menu showed a vast variety. I didn't see any blueberry cake (top 3 in donuts I love) so I chose one I've never heard of - vanilla coconut custard bar. I also love a good coconut donut and who can ever pass up a custard filled bar?! Not me! Typical bar donut but topped with vanilla icing & coconut flake stuffed with vanilla custard. First bite was delectable and sweet. I plowed through that donut in just a few greedy bites and wish I had ordered more. Next time around I will give the old fashioned and a cake donut a try. read more

I have been going here since I was a kid, it's been a few since I've been though and it wasn't a great visit. The man working there was very nice and friendly. We got a maple bar, apple fritter, and a scone of sorts. The maple bar was fine. The Apple fritter only tasted of grease/oil and was quite dense. The scone was the worst, it was almost burnt... like that place where it tastes bitter like burnt but is a dark brown. Both the fritter and the scone mostly ended up in the trash. This was such an unfortunate visit and perhaps an off day. read more

Franks donuts are the best I've ever eaten. In fact, their chocolate old fashioned has the best chocolate frosting and the cake itself is sublime. It has the perfect amount of crunchy with an unbeatable flavor. I have to go through the drive through each time I pass by when it's open! Each bite gives me happiness! read more

Wonderful Donuts! Came there at 3:30 AM and there was a huge selection! Quick and very friendly service. Thanks Frank!

Apple fritter was uneventful but the maple bar was good. Love the drive through hours.

Decided to do a side by side comparison of Franks & Kolby's, here are our thoughts: Only tried 2 donuts, glazed cruller and maple bar. Both locations the price was exactly the same at $3.50 for 2 donuts. Franks cruller was taller and had more glaze. This made it a bit more messy to eat as the glaze flakes off while biting into it. Although a tad sweeter, which is my preference, franks left me with a mild wavy texture briefly afterwards. Kolbys cruller was less sweet but tasted a bit more greasy, reminded us of fair food. Although it didn't look to have much glaze the sweetness was just enough without being too much. Because it wasn't covered in the stiffer glaze it was also a bit softer. Kolby wins this round Frank's maple bar was good, typical maple bar. Kolbys maple bar was very soft. Like when you pick it up your fingers sink into it. It also had a sweeter more artificial flavor and the frosting flakes off more on the kolby bar. Franks wins this round. read more

amazing service, doughnuts are great, the owner is very kind and generous and place was like home.

In my opinion this is the best donut place ever. I recently brought in two dozen for my coworkers (which the owner graciously gave me a few extra) and they were impressed. The donuts are perfectly made and not too sweet. Definitely get some donut holes and you will be set! read more

Good donuts every morning I'll stop by store always hot coffee and donuts so makes me feels good

WORST tasting donuts ever. EXTREMELY GREASES and of poor quality. I was told my 6 SMALL donuts were 5.00 but I was charged 12.00 once I looked at my bank acct. I called and was told I didn't listen to man behind counter and she made up all kinds of excuses on phone. Very POOR Customer Service after I told her what the guy working there told me....I will NEVER go to FRANKS GREASY DONUTS ever again and I will warn everyone of my Very UNPROFESSIONAL experience....I wouldnt even.give them a 1, more like 0 since she was so rude and hung up on me and the WORST GREASE DONUTS...... read more

Stoped by Franks Donuts today and was greeted by a sign claiming "SOLD OUT!"! Extremely disappointed by the lack of donuts available for FRANK B. Is it possible for a place to run out I ask myself. But next door is the Pierce County Sheriffs Dept and suddenly it dawned upon me the police have gobbled up all the donuts. The myth of police & donuts is solved and YES they love them. Unfortunately I'll never know what they taste like, wahhhhh. read more

Great, friendly staff and highly requested. This is on my way to work in tukwila and everyone wants franks donuts for the monthly birthday donuts we do. The drive thru is a great feature especially for the early mornings. They are always nice and fresh. read more

We went to Frank's Donuts last weekend and we had a very good experience! The donuts are very good! We tried several different kinds. Steve got a creme bar which was good... it was quite large so he had to save some for the next day. I got a devils food donut with chocolate frosting on top which was superb. In fact the fellow behind the counter was extremely generous and gave us two more of these donuts for free. I think it may have been because it was midday and he needed to get rid of some of the donuts so there would be less leftover once closing time came but regardless what the reason was it was a very nice gesture. In addition to the devil's food donuts I also got a cinnamon sugar donut which was very good as well. Frank's also sells their donuts at the Saars grocery store. Perhaps there are other places that sell their donuts as well but that is something I don't know. Frank's is definitely a great place to go if you are in the Spanaway area and are in need of a donut fix! read more

We love their donuts and the people are always happy to see us. Everything is fresh and our favorite donut is the Cruller.

Delicious 4 year old approved donuts. Fresh. Great customer service. Will totally be back.

This was my first time going to this place and I have to say, the service here is top notch and the lady even gave me a free bonus donut on top of my dozen order! She greets you on your way in and on your way out and asks how your day's been which I thought was super nice. The donuts themselves tasted amazing of course. And all the donuts were huge compared to ordinary sized ones! My total came out to be just $14 for a dozen of the assorted donuts I selected (photo attached). Will definitely be back. read more

Franks is AMAZING. You can tell the donuts are fresh and made very well. The workers there are always so nice and fast. Laughing and joking. Makes you feel like a regular even when you're not. I definitely will be after today. The man also gave us a few free donuts to "have a great day". This place is amazing. read more

Today was my first time going to Frank's and it was an amazing experience. It was around 3:00am and I was welcomed by two men who were super happy to see me despite how early in the morning it was.They were so kind, gave me a discount, and two extra donuts for free. The workers there love their job and the donuts were delicious. Definitely going back, it was awesome. If you want to support small businesses, support this one, they deserve it. Nicest people I've ever met. read more

Donuts are still good and My only real complaint besides never having enough donut holes but that could be because of the time I go in there is I definitely have problems understanding him read more

The first two times I came here, they were COMPLETELY out of donuts. I mean, not one thing left. By some good fortune, my friend called, and they had two bacon-maple left. Good friend (anyone who risks a speeding ticket for food is a good friend) grabbed the maple and a glaze. These donuts are amazingly delicate. It's more than just soft. The glaze they use is not that sweet. Depending on your preference, this could be a good or bad thing. I like that they use a whole piece of bacon. Makes the bacon more than a novelty, you can actually taste the smokey-bacony-ess. My friend likes it better than Voodoo. I've never had Voodoo. As my friend correctly stated, this donut would be the product if Krispy Kremes and Lakewood's House of Donuts had a baby. I really wish yelp had a .10 rating system. I would give this place just under four stars. I'd knock them just under 4 because if they keep running out of donuts, seems like a management issue. But they do have a drive thru. read more

Best donuts ever. The guy gave us several free " bonus " donuts. lol say saying " I give them for free , now I sold out , I can go home "

My first donut shop visit since moving to the area and I was not disappointed! I got a dozen variety and while we haven't gone through them all yet, I can definitely say I'm in trouble with their raisin bar! I've never had a donut like that and it's my new favorite! I also enjoyed bites of the apple fritter which was also yummy. I can't wait to try the strawberry cinnamon roll! The staff was very friendly, helpful, and promptly welcomed me to the store. I only deducted one star because I'm a cake donut lover and was sad to see the small area of cake donuts without much variety (no chocolate or blueberry that I like). I might revise my review later since I did get there later in the morning; maybe their cake donuts go fast first thing. Overall, I'll be going back but hopefully I can find my cake donuts at another shop. read more

I really don't know what happened to this place. Maybe I am comparing to to what it was 20 years ago. I am sorry I guess recipes change over time, wait you can't change a apple fritter recipe. Or can you.? read more

Go to place for your donut needs early in the morning. Prices are great and the donuts left everyone asking "where are these from?" Total crowd pleaser. Recommend the glazed, maple bars and cake donuts, but given the quality I'd bet money that they're all good. Definitely going to come again :) read more

Frank's donuts are possibly the most delicious thing i have ever tasted. at my first bite, i began to cry as the gates of heaven opened and the angels sang out. i am forever changed by the mere presence of these donuts let alone a few of them residing in my stomach. thank you frank. thank you for all of the good you have done. read more

Yaaaasssss!!!!! Finally, woot, woot!!! I have been meaning to try this local donut shop after hearing about how "delish" this place is but never got up early enough to make the trip as I was told that I need to arrive bright and early to ensure donut availablity, not just selection but actual donuts being available at all as they run out quickly!!! Seeing how my sleep schedule is null with a newborn, I took the opportunity of using my 4am feeding as a wake-up call for donuts and made my way down to Frank's, Finally.... Driving up, I could smell the delicious scent of dough and walking in I saw cases and cases of donuts........oh yeah, it's on!!! Their dozen is 15 I believe? or maybe she was extra nice but I got about every flavor available and then some and the price was unbelievable low!!!! I have to go again and try their huge muffins!!!! read more
